PETA, the animal rights organization, is offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of whomever left a cat inside a taped-shut plastic bin in Le Roy, Genesee County, on Saturday.

The cat, a long-haired male tabby named now named Munson, was discovered by a passer-by around 8:30 a.m. at the intersection of Munson and Gilbert streets. He was inside a plastic bin that had been duct-taped shut and had no holes or other means of ventilation. Le Roy Police said the cat was in otherwise good health when found and appeared to be unneutered.
